Since I last saw you
A wedding or a funeral
I guess that's what it takes
To pull me from my work
To wake me from my sleep
Remind me what's important

Another year goes by and I don't look the same
The new gray hairs the smile lines
I'm weathered now
I can't deny it
One year goes by
I'm old before my time
But I won't change
No I won't change inside

You look the same to me my friend
Will you tell me how you do it?
How can you block out the pain?
Let it pass right by
Learn how to accept,
Turn the other cheek
I never quite learned that trick

Another year goes by and I don't look the same
The new gray hairs the smile lines
I'm weathered now
I can't deny it
One year goes by
I'm old before my time
But I won't change
No I won't change inside

Another year goes by and I don't look the same
The new gray hairs the smile lines
I'm weathered now
I can't deny it
One year goes by
I'm old before my time
But I won't change
No I won't change
No I won't change
I promise I won't
I won't change inside
